Who are the players he's competing with at the 3 spot? Ball handling and defence IMO are his bigger question marks.
He'll get his minutes in Korea for sure because they're not a good team at all. In La Salle last year, he had Baclaan, Cortez, Pablo, Amos or an FSA in pre-season... the defending champs during the actual season... and don't forget how Al Riyadi locked him down after he was being left open the entire Dubai invitational last year in a stacked lineup with Dwight Howard and Andre Roberson.
I didn't see a problem with his defense in the FIBA game where the refs let players play. He was staying infront and stripping black players bigger and way more athletic than him. It's only in the local amateur game where they call fouls for committing to swipe the ball. Even in Pinoyliga, he didn't look interested in defending.
What he needs in Korea is a class playmaker to play off with. Worst case is KQ does the RJ in Japan thing where his team was asking him to do too much being the only one on the team with a particular skill set.... which is what I see him do if he's been asked to handle and playmake like how RJ was being asked to be Klay Thompson.
